Several years the 5 man at Purdue was THE focal point...even to the point of pick your poison with Haas and the stationary perimeter shooters. Zach is still the hub that all the spokes connect, but not near as dominant inside the "offense looks" as he was. This may be why Zach could be better, but his stats may go down...and yes I know his stats other than playing only a few minutes are great. However, we see at this time a lot more players look to score without first waiting on Zach and almost total focus on him. Make no mistake he will be a focal point a lot in some tough games, but it appears as of now other players are more active...and I realize Zach was limited in minutes against Arkansas and Grace was not much of a threat, but it just seems that other players are more engaged in trying to score. Balance will be key.
I've seen more drives into the lane by all the 4's than last year and so all of a sudden there has been some interest in doing such. I noticed the increase in aggressiveness by others to score even when Zach was in the game at Arkansas. That continues it should be more lethal towards the end of the year.
